About

Hello and welcome to my place! My name is Alex Tselegidis and I am a software developer
from Greece, currently living in Bremen. I have been working as a programmer since I was
15 and have spent countless hours of imagining, solving and planning things that come in
my way. I am always very serious with what I do and my ambitions are always high as to
never let myself down. All I am looking forward is the next project.

I'm currently a senior developer at Gambio GmbH,
an innovative software company that powers one of the greatest e-commerce platforms
available in Germany. But that's not all of it as I also undertake projects as a
freelancer!

Today's possibilities are just endless. There are tools and utilities that enable developers
to create cutting-edge apps that can run in browsers, desktop or mobile devices in extremely
low time. If you find this interesting take a look in the sections the other sections of this
page.

Things I Love

Below there are some tools I work with at the time being. There are also other many others
that are important to my work flow but this isn't supposed to be a big list anyway. Check out
my GitHub profile for more information about
my Open Source projects.

Work

During all these years I have taken part into a big variety of projects, some as a hobbyist,
some academic, some from my previous employments and some as a freelancer but these are the
ones that I would like to share with you. Kinda shows the different stages I went through until
today.

Freelance

Since 2009 I have worked with many companies and professionals on great projects that
boosted their productivity and conversion rates. From full-features applications, complicated
system integrations, e-commerce and CMS platforms or just marketing and representation websites
the outcome was always above expectations. Original ideas and agile procedures
improved collaboration experience and lead to the creation of robust software.

Feel free to send me your inquiries. Together we can elaborate on new ideas,
design concepts and integration scenarios that lead to successful software
projects. Start your new project today!

* A list of online references will be available soon.

Easy!Appointments

This is the most important project that I have in my portfolio at the time being. It was
developed for my BSc Thesis and is still maintained as an offer to the generous open source
community. The project is translated into 21 languages and is used from offices, doctors,
embassies, massage & cosmetic salons and a big variety of companies.

Although I still develop this project I also undertake customizations as a freelancer.
Consider sending me a message about the required modifications and we can discuss the
available solutions.

Riddles4U

The ultimate riddles game is now publicly available online. This project is a collaboration
result of the BigBlackCode team and includes
original and well tested riddles, IQ tests and puzzles for players to solve. The game platform
is released under the GPL-3.0 license and the code is available
on GitHub.

Infobox

Infobox is a desktop CRM application that can manage efficiently all your business needs.
The application includes a full-featured organizer, a complete customer transactions system
and a clever utility for creating custom print reports from all the database information.
Infobox was developed on behalf of Action Computers (GR) for public distribution in Greece.

Academic

During my bachelor studies I developed along with other students some projects that are worth
noticing. I got to learn a lot of interesting stuff including how to lead a team of programmers
and organize them in order to meet strict deadlines.
Co-operation and organization play an important role for successfully achieving the team's goals.
Some of the projects where simple 2D Arcade Games, Database applications, and scientific
calculations (using MatLab or similar simulation tools).
In September 2012 I was accepted by Sigma Solutions to fulfil my academic internship. During
the 7 months in the company, I got involved into many projects and technologies, most of them
in the web domain.
There were situations were I started and completed the project by myself, some that required
collaboration with fellow developers of the company and some that needed technical support on
several issues that might appear. This experience got me into a competitive business workflow
that needed high standard results for the final solutions.

AppHold

AppHold is a web system that tracks the licensing and error state of publicly distributed
applications. It contains a web management portal and a web service that communicates with the
client executables and enables a company to manage remotely their customers' software licenses.
AppHold is currently being used by the Infobox project for monitoring the application's licensing
properties and its error report events.

Coming Soon

I think that by now I've made it clear that I love programming. That includes programming
in my free time (yes I know it's never enough). For that reason I have created the BigBlackCode
team with dear friends in order to produce open source magic. Here are some projects that are
coming soon.

SpaceGuard

An HTML5 arcade game in space where the player has to protect his spaceship from the
vicious enemies. The game will be responsive and mobile-friendly and it will feature unique
gameplay mechanics for the web standards. Check the progress of the game
on GitHub.

Mind Escape

Made for puzzle lovers and hidden object seekers Mind Escape will be a combination of all the
elements we like in escape games along with some very interesting features, targeted for Android devices.
The game concept is ready but the development was halted until more time is available from all team members.

Hire Me

Enough talking, let's get to work! You are more than welcome to send me an email
with your ideas, plans or questions. Together we can make up a plan without any fee
restrictions.
